...parking lot at the Norcross branch of Banuestra, an alternative financial institution aimed at serving the estimated 40 million adults in the U.S. without bank accounts. For him, every dollar counts, and compared with the 24-hour Atlanta Check Cashers outlet down the road, which charges a 3% fee to cash a payroll check, Banuestra is a bargain, taking just 1%, or $3, out of his weekly pay. He doesn't even consider the Wachovia bank across the street on Jimmy Carter Boulevard. It closes too early, and more important, makes potential customers like Alvarez-Rosales jump through too many...
...miraculously, the open door policy and cheap entrance fee, which even included a free drink, did not result in a complete sketchfest, but instead in one of my most fun nights this summer.

Dr. James Utterback, president of Oklahoma's Seminole State College, was one of Ross's first partners. "We benefit from the extra funds and added diversity on our campus," Utterback says. Seminole doesn't have enough teachers to enroll IUON'S students fully, but it can accommodate...
...number of cars on the road while increasing the average speed of vehicles that remain. Meanwhile, the funds collected from the tax will be used to bolster public transportation, offering more eco- and traffic-friendly alternatives. While critics charge that the tax is regressive, since the proposed eight dollar fee will present more of a burden to poor motorists, they fail to note that a majority of automotive commuters earn above-average incomes, and that the tax means increased funding for buses and subways that are used disproportionately by less affluent residents...
